Today one of these teams will enter the final. Here we are telling you about the 5 players of Punjab who will create the biggest difficulty for RCB in today’s match, if they go, then RCB is sure to lose!
Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy is behind the success of Punjab Kings in IPL 2025, but a mixture of young and experienced players in the team is also fantastic with him. Now foreign players in the team have also come in form.
Priyansh Arya
Left -handed batsman Priyansh Arya comes into attacking mode from the first ball itself. After a brilliant performance in the Delhi Premier League, he was bought by Punjab, he lived up to the expectations. He has become like a time for the bowlers, this young batsman has won many matches to Punjab in the season. He has scored 424 runs in 14 matches of the league stage, including a record century and 2 half -centuries. In the last match against Mumbai, he scored 62 runs in 35 balls with the help of 2 sixes and 9 fours.
Josh English also returned to form
Another good thing for Punjab Kings is that their foreign players have returned to form. Josh English was seen struggling initially but now he has returned to form. He plays fast bowlers well, he also plays brilliantly against spinners. In IPL 2025, he scored 197 runs in 8 matches, in the last match he scored a match of 73 runs against Mumbai Indians. In this innings played in 42 balls, he hit 3 sixes and 9 fours.
Shreyas Iyer’s role is important
While the opening pair of Punjab on one side is fantastic, if they fail, then the middle order captain Shreyas Iyer is seen standing like a wall. He has scored 514 runs in 14 matches, including 5 half -centuries. In the last match, he scored an unbeaten 26 in 16 balls.
Marcus Stoinis is a dangerous batsman
Stoinis’s bat was not going on in the beginning, he has scored 126 runs in 8 innings of IPL 2025. But in his last innings, he scored 44 runs in 16 balls against Delhi. His death is going to be an important role in the overs. He is considered a big stage player and can also bowl. If their bat goes in the death overs, then the team will score 20 to 30 runs, they can be very dangerous.
Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh is a dangerous bowler, he is known for the exact yorker balls but this season he has also achieved success on the second line balls. He has taken 18 wickets in 13 innings this season. He is involved in the race for the purple cap. RCB batsmen will have to be careful with Arshdeep, because they are expert in taking wickets in the beginning and if this happens, there will be pressure on RCB.
